Fatherly Advice

Take a walk down memory lane. You could catalogue all of the times your dad gave you advice. You could also catalogue all of the times he gave you advice and you didn’t listen. For me the latter was the most prominent, as I always knew what was best. I even knew the best way to do things; better than my dad. Which is why I want to pay homage to Dad with these three tidbits of fatherly advice I should have listened to. Oh man….hindsight really is 20/20.

1. Credit Cards: Yourright, Dad. You do have to pay them back.

2. Cars: Regular oil changes….who knew?

3. Work: Hard work pays off. It’s hard not to ignore this mowing the lawn or doing chores.

HIS FINEST MOMENTS

Our memories sometimes fail and luckily technology is there to help us regale in the most incriminating photos. For Dad, there is no such thing as “too ridiculous” or “over-the-top”, that’s why we’re asking our friends on the intertubular webs to show off their goofiest photos of Dad on Instagram!

That said, you send us the goods, we’ll deliver the goods. Check the prizes and contest info below!

The Greenhouse effect

I’m happy to announce a limited edition Bot we’ve been working on since this morning over a bowl of cereal. I would love to tell you what kind of cereal, but I totally don’t want us to get sued. Let’s just call it ‘RaptainRunch’ and leave it at that.

Motion detecting bike alarm sounds off when bike lock gives way

Bike thieves suck, and German designer Dennis Siegel has created a way to stop them in the act when they’re jacking your ride.

Referred to as the RFID Bikealarm (catchy, I know), this tiny little sensor gets attached to the bike seat and sounds off when the bike lock gives way.

Specifically, the alarm will trigger a loud-as-fu#k 120db siren that will draw an instant sea of eyeballs to the thief trying to steal your bike.

There’s an internal micro controller in the device to keep it from going off at random, or any time it detects a minor, harmless vibration. In terms of activating or deactivating the alarm, users need only position the radio-frequency identification tag as close the Bikealarm’s security enclosure as possible.

In terms of how long it’ll last, the device is powered by a rechargeable battery, which gets plugged in using a standard USB wire.

Check out the video below to learn more about what’s easily the second most useful bike accessory on the market (outside of our strap-on Bluetooth speakers, obvi).

Headlight helps bikers let drivers know where they are on the road

Well here’s a nifty little gadget for your bike. It’s called the Orp, and it’s a $65 LED headlight that easily mounts and dismounts from any bike’s handlebars.

The reason why it’s so expensive is because it’s function is two-fold; you see, it also serves as a horn. When triggered, it will release a loud-as-you-know-what shriek that can be heard inside a running car with its windows rolled up.

While there are a lot of things to be happy about this time of year — Halloween candy, Pumpkin beer, Football — one thing that sucks majorly is the shorter days. No sooner does one get home from work, changes into their exercise gear, grabs their handlebar mountable Bluetooth speaker and hops on to their bike for a quick ride down in the park, is it too dark out to see the paths.

Well, my fellow nighttime riders and skaters, it’s time to rejoice — it appears as though UK-based company ProTeq has created a solution to this headache: glow-in-the-dark pathways.
